I just managed to get my hands on scans of the Shintaro Kago pages in this month's issue of Vice. Thumbnails here, and links to download large scans below. ENJOY!

3 page interview thumbnails:

4 page Vice exclusive comic thumbnails:

UPDATE: No need to download scans unless you want them REALLY BIG (if so, just email me). The interview with Kago, picture of him holding his dog and the entire comic can be found online at Viceland here.

PS: I want to send a copy of the magazine to our Shintaro Kago scanlator and provider, Mr. Anonymous K. I have his contact details, so if you have a copy you'd like to donate, I would really appreciate it. Mr. K lives in a country where he'll probably not see this magazine in person unless a generous Same Hatter gifts him one. Email me at samehatATgmailDOTcom if you wanna be his secret santa.

I just found out that blog favorite Shintaro Kago is gracing the cover of the newest issue of Vice Magazine!! Looks like it's the February issue, and features an absolutely stunning cover by Kago along with a feature interview with the man himself!

God, this cover is fucking gorgeous. And despite my hating of Vice's politics and editorial bent, this is a killer artistic decision (along with giving Johnny his own comics page and recently featuring spot illustrations by our buddy Laura Park). I gotta get my hands on many, many copies of this issue.
